Lisa and I had great seats – row 11 – for the Elton John & Billy Joel concert. It was absolutely amazing. No gimmicks, no nonsense – just 3 hours of good ol’ piano playing and singing great songs. They sang the songs I grew up on and love. They kept them true and the show rocked. They started the show playing “Your Song” and “Just the Way You Are” together and then Elton did his own solo portion of the show. Phenomenal! My favorites were “Tiny Dancer” (of course! y’all know this is my song!), “Levon”, “Rocket Man”, and “Daniel”.

That would have been a great concert by itself, but Billy Joel was still up! It really felt like we were treated to two amazing concerts in one evening.  Billy Joel was great and played so many of his classics “Don’t Ask Me Why”, “She’s Always a Woman”, and “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. Elton John joined him for another round of songs which included “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues,” “Uptown Girl,” “Bennie and the Jets,” “Candle in the Wind” and “Piano Man.”. The highlight was the end of the show when they went silent and the crowd sang the chorus to “Piano Man”. Fabulous!
